Congratulating the 101 students of the 2014-2016 graduating batch, Shri S. K. Roongta said: “Remember that you should always act as change agents and have the right attitude towards work and the workplace. Focus on being constructive and creating value.”

Mr. Sharad Jaipuria, in his inspiring speech said “Life has no curriculum and no single teacher. The hungrier you are, the more you are able to absorb and the better it will serve you in times to come. You may not be able to use every single piece of information in the short term, but when combined, these small pieces will make you see opportunities when they appear.”
